Pastor Donald Bell, Sr.
Donald M. Bell, Sr. is the pastor/teacher of Covenant Blessing Fellowship, (CBF). Launched in March 2001 with Adult Bible Study, God allowed for CBF's expansion into Sunday worship services in May of the same year. During the first ninety days after this addition, Pastor Bell conducted what he coined Vision Services. Setting the charge for the church, Pastor Bell spent this time strategically laying the foundation for how CBF would establish itself as a vehicle to bring about Kingdom living among its members and community. In late July, when the Vision Services were complete, God awarded an overwhelming response as the first one hundred fifty members of the church were received. In the past several months, God has added to His church and expanded its vision. Pastor Bell is now ministering to a six hundred-plus member congregation and marvels at God's plan to grow the ministry as quickly as He has.

Pastor Bell has been preaching since he was 16 years old. He has become widely known for his ability to use everyday relevance to teach the word of God. Blessed with a passion to see people achieve Christian spiritual maturity, he is able to teach Godly principles on a level in which even initial non-believers can easily grasp Kingdom concepts. Pastor Bell believes that, not just by ministering, but modeling his life according to the Word, he can help encourage lives to change. Pastor Bell shares from personal life experience and presents the Word in a way that if you are truly seeking God, you will find Him, and your life will change!

For eight years Pastor Bell served as the Singles Pastor at Faithful Central Bible Church, located in Inglewood, California. While serving there, attendance at the Singles Ministry's weekly Wednesday night Bible Study experienced a phenomenal growth from approximately one dozen or so in attendance to unprecedented numbers reaching anywhere between seven to eight hundred singles per week!

In 1998, Pastor Bell made three separate appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, taking his teaching to the world. He caught the attention of one of the segment producers of 20/20, and in September 1998, camera and crew visited him to do a piece on his ministry at Faithful Centrals' Annual Singles Retreat, which aired in 1999.

Pastor Bell resides in Southern California. He is married and has three children.
